  Innisfallen Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Innisfallen Island is just one of many islands found in Lough Leane, one of the three Lakes of Killarney in the Republic of Ireland.
It is home to the ruins of Innisfallen Abbey, one of the most impressive archaeological remains dating from the early Christian period found in the Killarney National Park.
Over a period of about 300 of these, the Annals of Innisfallen were written, which chronicle the early history of Ireland as it was known to the monks.

 Annals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Annals (Latin Annales, from annus, a year) are a concise form of historical writing which record events chronologically, year by year.
It was at the end of the 7th century and among the Anglo-Saxons that the compiling of these Annals was first begun – see the Annals of the Four Masters, the Annals of Ulster, the Annals of Innisfallen and the Annales Cambriae or Annals of Wales, one of the earliest sources for King Arthur.
Arrived at this stage of development, the Annals now began to lose their primitive character, and henceforward became more and more indistinguishable from the Chronicles, though the term was still used for many documents, such as the Annals of Waverley.

On the other hand the commemorand is known only as a member of the Uí Enechglais -- his father's name is not recorded -- while the Mac-Cárthinn/Caírthinn of the Leinster poem and the annals is recorded only as such or with his father's name Cóelub.
